The ob'ect of this invention is to rovide a light, ut strong and durable, w eel so constructed as to permit and facilitate the changing of tires without removal of the main part of the wheel from the axle.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the wheel. Fig. 2 is a diametrical section through the wheel.

The wheel comprises a disk a having a hub 0 adapted to be applied to an axle, and an annular plate 6 adapted to abut against and be secured to disk (1.

1 Disk a at its periphery is shaped to form a half rim (3. Plate is shaped at its peri hery to form another 'half rim e. The

two alf rims form a rim adapted to receive and securel hold a pneumatic or solid tire w.

Plate 6 is preferably flat, as is alsothat peri 'heral art of disk a to which disk I) is ed. 'Ihe central part of disk a, which preferably includes the major part of its diametrical width, is of concave form; that is, it is dished outward, so that, although annular late b, is applied to the outside of disk at, t e larger, or at least a substantial, portion of that part of disk 0. that is "enclosed b annular plate 6 is inside the planeof disk It is also desirable to rovide an annular outwardly facin shoul er at the junction of the periphera fiat part and the dished central part of disk a, against which the inner ed e of annular plate I) abuts.

Annular p ate 6 is secured to :disk 0 by means of bolts and washers and nuts g. The bolts should be in fixed relation with disk 0:.

It is desirable, but not necessary, to .pro-

vide disk a with ins h adapted to engage holes in annular plate I), thereby afl'ording a ready means for properly positioning plate 6 on disk a and preventin such relative circumferential movement tween the anddiskaswouldtendtoloos'enthebota- Pennsylvania, on this late a plate 6 so that the abutting aces of disk 0:

and plate 6 will be solid throughout.

We are aware that wheels composed of chairs carrying half rims and adapted to be secured one against the other are known in the art; but a wheel having the combinations of features defined in the appended claim is believed to be new and to exhibit substantialadvantages over wheels of the prior art. a

The disk wheel described is adapted for use on aeroplanes, automobiles and other vehicles.

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A disk wheel for vehicles comprising a 'disk provided with a-half rim, an annular plate having an external diameter corresponding to that of thedisk and provided with a complementary half rim, and means to removab secure the plate to the outer face of the isk, that part of the disk which extends within the circular spaoeenclosed' .by the annular plate bein dished outwardly, the disk being also provi ed with a shoulder extending within the inner periphery of the annular late, and pins on the disk an age-- able wit in holes in the plate to faci itate re lacement of theplate.

' n testimony of which invention, we have hereunto set our hands, at Philadelphia, 7th da 'of Jul 1927. ADOLFO AMPO PEDRO H. BECERBA.
